If you like your dive watches colorful, distinctive, and rich with history, then we think you'll like Doxa SA. Founded in 1889 in Switzerland, Doxa foundered in the quartz crisis of the 1960s, but was reopened in 1997. Although they make a wide variety of watches, they are best known for their dive watches, and their perennial inclusion in the Dirk Pitt books by author Clive Cussler. In 1967, Doxa's research led them to use an orange dial for visibility on their Sub 300T model which was u..

View the Oceanus OCWM700TBA-1AV Photo Gallery. Watch Report recently received the black Ion Plated Oceanus OCWM700TBA-1AV.

But of course, something this good just ..

Sometimes all you want from a watch is the time and date in a nice, readable format. Not too fancy, not too cluttered, not too expensive. Even us gadget freaks get the urge to strap on a simple watch with a clear face sometimes. Allow me introduce the Citizen BM6400 watches, available with either a canvas strap (BM6400-00E, retail $175) or a bracelet (BM6400-51E, retail $225). The list of features is as simple as the face of the watch itself: Time. Date. Non-reflective mineral c..

I created Watch Report over three years ago because there wasn't enough of the right kind of watch information available online. My goal was to produce the best and most helpful online watch publication, and to help as many people as possible find the same kind of passion for watches that I have. It wasn't long before emails started rolling in, and over time, I found myself spending as much time responding to emails as producing and editing content. I really like interacting one-on-one w..
